User Manual


1. Introduction

In the framework of the execution of Transmission & ZTP Trading, Storage and LNG Terminalling Services under the Standard Transmission Agreement, the Standard Storage Agreement and/or the LNG Terminal Agreements, Fluxys offers grid user access to and use of the Electronic Data Platform with the Electronic Booking System included. Such access will be granted to grid user representatives, further referred to as users, on a non-exclusive and non-transferable basis and as from the moment those users become registered. Fluxys is for commercial, operational and regulatory purposes offering different access rights to the Electronic Data Platform. The following distinction is made depending on the type of data made available:

• Public data is data made available to anyone without access restriction placed on such kind of data,

• Private data is data made available to a specific grid user, with restricted use depending on the access rights granted to the user of the Electronic Data Platform. The menu items with

the symbol are only privately accessible. Depending on his role (which was defined by the SPOC) he may or may not access all functionality shown on this screen.

In order to access the Electronic Data Platform user must log in via https://gasdata.fluxys.com/ For an optimal use of the data platform, we advise you to use the browser Google Chrome / Microsoft Edge.

User Manual


1.1 Glossary

Agreement Generic naming for STA (Standard Transmission Agreement), SSA (Standard Storage Agreement), LTA (LNG Terminalling Agreement), LTL (LNG Agreement for LNG Truck Loading), LTSA (LNG Transshipment Services Agreement), CSA (Capacity Subscription Agreement)

ACT Access Code for Transmission

Business Party (BP)

A Business Party is a company with whom Fluxys does business (i.e. has a capacity contract). In Fluxys’ ICT systems, a Business Party typically is limited to one of the possible activities (Transmission – Storage – Terminal) in which Fluxys or one of its subsidiaries is the operator. In other words, if the same company is active for all three activities (i.e. has an active STA, SSA and LTA), it will be technically registered as different business parties in the respective ICT system of the concerned activity.

Business Party Association (BPA)

A Business Party Association is a “federating” concept to allow users from the same company or affiliated companies to view data or perform actions for different activities (Transmission, Storage and/or Terminal) on the Fluxys Electronic Data Platform, without being registered or having to sign in several times. Even if the company has only one activity, a BPA should be created.

Electronic Booking System (EBS)

Part of the Electronic Data Platform provided by the TSO which allows Grid Users to subscribe transmission services.

Electronic Data Platform

(EDP)

The internet application offered by Fluxys to the Fluxys Service User on which Fluxys and its affiliates shall give access to both public and private data and its associated Electronic Booking System through which the Grid User can subscribe transmission services.

Fluxys Can either be Fluxys Belgium as Fluxys LNG.

Fluxys activity Fluxys has three regulated commercial activities, being Transmission, Terminal and Storage.

Fluxys Service User

The Fluxys Service User is a generic naming for Transmission Service User, Storage User, Terminal User.

Single Point Of Contact or SPOC

Fluxys Service User Representative appointed by the Fluxys Service User according to procedures set forth in the Agreements (STA, SSA, LTA) who shall be the contact person between the Fluxys Service User and Fluxys Belgium and its affiliates, and who is entitled to do the administration setup. A SPOC is always defined for a Business Party Association (BPA) and an activity. The SPOC can only define user rights for the BPA and the Fluxys activity that is associated to him/her.

Transmission Service User

Generic naming used in this document only for Grid User, Gas User, TSO.

User The user that is associated to a BPA. This user can sign in to the EDP and to the EBS with a user name and password.

Working Hours From Monday to Friday between 9 am and 6 pm Belgian Local Time, except during bank holidays in Belgium or the TSO’s general holiday schedule.

1.2 Availability and use of the EDP and EBS

The Electronic Data Platform and Electronic Booking System are intended to be accessible 24 hours per day and 7 days a week. Assistance in case of technical problems or unavailability of the EDP or EBS for whatsoever reason or the helpdesk will only be ensured by Fluxys or one of its affiliates during Working Hours.

Fluxys and any of its affiliates reserve the right to suspend or otherwise limit the availability of part or all of the EDP or EBS at any moment to make all modifications likely to improve or expand its

User Manual


operation or simply to ensure its maintenance. The Fluxys Service User will be notified in due time of any change in the EDP or EBS or any such unavailability. Fluxys and any of its affiliates will use its reasonable endeavours to keep such unavailability to a minimum.

The use of the EDP, and the data published on it, is at the user’s own discretion and risk. Data on EDP may contain inaccuracies.

1.3 BPA

Generally speaking, the BPA concept allows federation for the access of a user to the data of his company in different contexts, for as long as the company is active in those contexts. The concept can also be used if the same user would be acting on behalf of a company or affiliated companies in other contexts. Note however that 2 affiliated companies in the same context cannot be associated to one single user. This concept is obviously transparent for companies that are only active in one single context. In that case no association is relevant. Nonetheless, upon registration of the SPOC(s), Fluxys will setup the requested BPA for each company or group of companies.

1.4 SPOCs

Upon registration of SPOC(s), Fluxys will create a user account for the SPOC and associate this account to the relevant BPA. A SPOC is a specific type of user, who acts as a Single Point Of Contact role for one or more Fluxys contexts. For example, a SPOC user in a Terminal context will be able to create and manage users for his BPA in the Terminal context. The SPOC user details, such as mobile phone number and e-mail address are required. The SPOC user will receive an e-mail, stating the URL of the Electronic Data Platform and his user name. The password will be sent by SMS. This system-generated password must be changed before the SPOC user is able to log in to the system.

User Manual

©2021, Fluxys Access rights ● 9

2. Access rights

For the avoidance of doubt, Fluxys grants user that has been registered either as SPOC either by the SPOC, a temporary, personal, non-transferable and non-exclusive right to use the Electronic Data Platform for the consultation of data based on specific access rights, in the framework of the Standard Transmission Agreement, the Standard Storage Agreement and/or the LNG Terminal Agreements.

2.1 Administration rights

Grid user shall appoint one or more SPOCs, who shall become users granted with administration rights in the Electronic Data Platform. For the registration of a SPOC for a specific grid user, Fluxys requires at least the name, e-mail address and mobile phone number of such person as described in section 3.5.2. Once the SPOC is registered, Fluxys shall send the SPOC the URL of the Electronic Data Platform and his/her username by e-mail and his/her password by SMS1. As from this moment the SPOC is entitled to use the Electronic Data Platform administration tool via https://gasdata.fluxys.com/administration and execute the administration setup of all users relating to such grid user, by:

• Registering users and their information;

• Managing user’s password, including creation, reset or unlock operations;

• Modifying or deleting the information relating to users;

• Granting or modify granted access rights to users.

In order to register a new user, the SPOC of the grid user shall register at least his/her name, e-mail address and mobile phone number in the administration tool. Once the user is registered, Fluxys shall send the user the URL of the Electronic Data Platform and his/her username by e-mail and his/her password by SMS. As from this moment the user is entitled to use the Electronic Data Platform and consult private data relating to the grid user, according to the access rights granted to him/her at that time by the SPOC.

2.2 Initial user setup

2.2.1 Creating a new user

Before creating a user account, the SPOC should check if the user already exists. If this is the case, user details do not need to be filled in. The SPOC can proceed immediately to assigning rights to the already existing user (See 0).

1 The password is generated by the system and must be changed at first login attempt

https://gasdata.fluxys.com/administration

User Manual


If the user is new, the user details have to be filled in:

• First and last name (*)

• Mobile phone number (*) (**)

• E-mail address (*) (**)

• Regular phone number (*) fields are mandatory (**) fields have to be entered twice to ensure that the value entered is correct

The user ID is generated by the system, and consists of the 7 first letters2 of the surname and the first letter of the first name. The user ID is a mere suggestion by the system. If the SPOC prefers another user ID, he can enter another one. The system will check the uniqueness of the user ID before saving the user. After pressing the Save button, the SPOC receives a validation code by SMS, which has to be entered in the provided field. This code must be validated successfully by the system before the newly created user account is actually saved in the system. Once the account is saved, the specified user receives an e-mail with a link to the Fluxys Electronic Data Platform. To gain access to this platform, the user must enter the initial user password generated by the system. This password is not shown to the SPOC but sent to the user by SMS. Before being able to sign in, the user should reset this system-generated password to a personal password. For clarity’s sake, next symbols do not appear in the password:

• l: lower case L

• I: upper case i

• o: lower case o

• O: upper case o The 1 and 0 do sometimes appear in the system-generated password. The user should reset the system-generated password before logging in. The password should contain minimum 8 characters and maximum 20 characters. It should consist of at least 1 upper case letter, 1 lower case letter and 1 digit or special character (except the special characters ' " \ &). The password cannot contain the username. Should the e-mail address or mobile phone number be entered incorrectly by the SPOC, it is up to the user to notice that no message was received within reasonable term. The user should therefore contact the SPOC to verify what went wrong.

2 If the last name does not consist of 7 letters, the last name as a whole is concatenated with the first letter of the first name.

User Manual


2.2.2 Adding user rights

Once a user account has been selected, the SPOC can assign user rights.

• If a user is entitled Reader rights, access is granted to consult public data and private data relating to the grid user only.

• If a user is entitled Composer rights, access is granted to consult and register transaction information through the Electronic Booking System relating to requests of transmission services for the account of a Grid User.

• If a user is entitled Validator rights, access is granted to consult and validate binding transactions through the Electronic Booking System for the account of a Grid User. Such validation of binding transmission service requests is done by entering a confirmation code sent by SMS by the TSO.

• An AA Validator is a user profile especially to approve the allocation agreements (see section 4.1.8).

• An Automatic Download Agent is a user profile especially for automatic downloads, usually executed by an external system that requires private data relating to the grid user.

• A Metering Index Encoder is a user profile to encode metering index (see section 4.3.9). Because of security reasons, if the user already has a role Reader, Composer or Validator, then the role Automatic Download Agent cannot be assigned. If the user already has the role Automatic Download Agent, then the role Reader, Composer or Validator cannot be assigned.

2.3 Password management

2.3.1 Unlocking a locked user

If a user subsequently enters an incorrect password 5 times in a row, then the system locks the specified user account, if it even exists. The account can only be unlocked by the SPOC. Consequently, a SPOC can also unlock a fellow SPOC. Once an account has been unlocked, an e-mail is sent to the user to inform him/her about the unlocking of the account.

2.3.2 Resetting password

The SPOC can reset the password of a user or a fellow SPOC if asked to do so. The user under consideration should just be selected before pushing the reset button. When resetting, the system first checks whether or not the selected user is locked and unlocks the user if necessary. The system generates a new password and sends it to the user by SMS. The user should change the password before being able to log in to the Fluxys Electronic Data Platform.

2.4 Other SPOC functionalities

2.4.1 Changing user details

The details of the user can be changed

• First and last name

• Regular phone number

• E-mail address The e-mail address has to be entered twice in order to make sure the correct value is entered.

2.4.2 Changing the mobile phone number

The mobile phone number of the user can also be changed. The new value for the mobile phone number has to be entered twice (the copy paste functionality is disabled). To confirm the change, the SPOC has to enter the validation code he has received by SMS.

User Manual

©2021, Fluxys Functionalities for the users (including SPOCs) ● 12

2.4.3 Deleting user rights

The SPOC can select a user account and delete his/her rights.

2.4.4 Deleting a user account

A user account can only be deleted if it has no rights whatsoever. As long as the account still has rights, the delete button will be disabled. If the SPOC has strong reasons for deleting the user anyway, he should first delete the user rights.

2.4.5 Consulting user accounts

The SPOC can consult all the users for his BP. For each user there is an indication of the applied user rights (SPOC rights and/or other rights).

3. Functionalities for the users (including SPOCs)

3.1 Authenticate

The user is authenticated with User ID and password. If the password is entered incorrectly 5 subsequent times in a row, the system locks the user.

3.2 Change password

The user can change his password by typing in the old password and then typing the new password twice, in order to ensure that the entered value is the correct one. The password should contain minimum 8 characters and maximum 20 characters. It should consist of at least 1 upper case letter, 1 lower case letter and 1 digit or special character (except the special characters ' " \ &). The password cannot contain the username.

mailto:[email protected]

User Manual


Navigate towards “Capacities and Contracts” in the “Transmission & ZTP Trading Services” section on the Electronic Data Platform and select the “Portfolio” tab in order to consult the portfolio.

In the Portfolio screen the grid user can select to export his portfolio to a XML file or a CSV file. This export can be generated as of a specific date for an unlimited period or for a specific period. Note that this is private data which is made available to a specific grid user only, with restricted use depending on the access rights granted to the user of the Electronic Data Platform, as detailed in Attachment G of the Access Code for Transmission.

4.1.2 Capacities on Interconnection Points

Fluxys publishes the contracted, available and commercial maximum capacities at every interconnection point on its network for the next 15 years.

• Firm Capacity: capacity that is guaranteed under all normal circumstances.

• Backhaul Capacity: offered at unidirectional interconnection points, in the opposite direction of the physical gas flow direction and is usable as long as the resulting physical flow remains in the physical direction of the interconnection point

• Interruptible Capacity: capacity with an interruption probability of 5% based on historical flows. The following table explains the column names

CCF Contracted Capacity Firm

ACF Available Capacity Firm

CMCF Commercial Maximum Capacity Firm

CCB Contracted Capacity Backhaul

ACB Available Capacity Backhaul

CMCB Commercial Maximum Capacity Backhaul

CCI Contracted Capacity Interruptible

ACI Available Capacity Interruptible

CMCI Commercial Maximum Capacity Interruptible

The set of interconnection points that can be chosen as parameter contains both the interconnection points valid in the former transmission model, and in the new entry-exit transmission model. By default all the interconnection points are checked. The report shows for each day in the requested period only data for the interconnection points that are valid on that day. Attention, the download can only be done for blocks of 2 years.

4.1.3 Capacities on Domestic Exit Points

Fluxys publishes the contracted, available and technical capacities at each Zone, H and L, of its network with the aggregated set of data for the supply points connected to this Zone. The following table explains the column names

4.3.1 Daily refreshed measurements on nodes and lines – New

codification

The Measurements in this section are refreshed on a daily basis. The user can consult daily measurements on nodes or lines for a selected period (Short or long period (More than 1 month)). The nodes and lines for which the user has or had view rights are available in the treeview. The system will only return results for the selected lines/nodes if the user has view rights for the selected period. In this case, precise selections are necessary via filters:

• Period: From … to ….

• Show node level or by lines

• Select one or several nodes/lines/node configuration via the selection list

For each node or metering line for each day on the selected period, a line is displayed with the following measurements:

• The Flow Measurements: Volume, Energy, GCV, Pressure (absolute pressure – expressed in Bara), Temperature, Gross Volume and Conv. Volume.

• The Gas Composition tab displays the measurements of the composition of the gas.

• The Gas Characteristics tab displays the measurements retrieved by the gas analysis: Density, Wobbe, NCV, Kref, CO2 EF, GCV and a validation status.

• The status field shows the validation status of the measurements: - No Data - Raw data are measurements that are not at all verified or validated - Verified data means that a preliminary verification check has been done - Validated data means that extra checks have been executed and that the measurement

is considered as accountable Please note that the all measurements are flow weighted averages (Except Volume and Energy). The user can also export the measurement information for the selected period in different file formats:

• XML

• CSV (Comma delimited or semicolon delimited)

4.3.2 Hourly refreshed measurements on nodes and lines – New

codification

This tab replaces the tab ‘Measurements on nodes & lines – New codification’. The data is based on the new codification which makes it possible to visualize information on line-level for every type of metering configuration (e.g. 2 meters in series in one metering line). When opening this section, the Hourly View with flow measurements for the last available hour is displayed for all the nodes. Some filters are available:

• Date: At the top (just below the hourly, daily and monthly tabs) the date selector is located. The date shown is the gasday of the measurements displayed in the measurement grid. The last available report button will automatically select the current day and hour.

• Show nodes: the measurements on node level

• Show lines: the measurements by lines

• All: No filter is applied.

• Node Type: Filter by border or by supply

• Search parameter: - Choice between “Name” or “Codification number” - Complete the box “Contains” with the exact “Codification number” or the exact name - Apply Filter

On the left hand side a bar with all the available hours in the selected gasday is presented. Clicking on a specific hour will select this hour and display the measurements of this hour in the measurements grid. When changing the gasday the first gashour of that day is selected.

User Manual


The center of the screen shows all the flow measurements on the selected gasday and gashour. For each node or metering line, a line is displayed with the following measurements:

• The amount of Volume that flowed through the node or metering line (Converted to normal conditions (0°C and 1 atm))

• The amount of Energy that flowed through the node or metering line during this hour

• The GCV calculated from the gas flow. This value is calculated as the fraction of Energy/Volume.

• The Pressure of the gas (absolute pressure – expressed in Bara)

• The Temperature of the gas

• The Gross Volume is the physical volume of the gas at measured conditions.

• The VnConv is the normalized Volume that is measured by the volume converter.

• For a metering line, the value Weight/In Maintenance indicates the weight of the line (-1 / 0 / 0,5 / 1). Some examples :

o If a metering line is in maintenance or subcounting, the weight of the metering line will be ‘0’.

o If two meters are installed in the same meteringline, the weight will be ‘0.5’ This makes that the metering results on node level are the summation of the consumptions (in

Volume or Energy) of the different depending metering lines multiplied by their weight.

• The Status field shows the validation status of the measurements: - No Data - Raw data are measurements that are not at all verified or validated - Verified data means that a preliminary verification check has been done - Validated data means that extra checks have been executed and that the measurement is

considered as accountable

4.3.3 Topology

This section provides information about the metering topology elements on which the user has the right to view data. The view rights are derived from the contracts which are based on Gas Exchange Locations. These gas exchange locations can be subdivided in a set of Nodes.

4.3.3.1 Content

A Gas Exchange Location (GEL) consists of node memberships. A node can be a member of a GEL during a given time period. The membership has a weight with which the measurements of the respective node are aggregated in the result for the associated GEL. All this information can be found per GEL under the button GEL Topology (This option is accessible to limited users (It depends of their contractual link with Fluxys)). Under the Node Topology button a drop-down box can be found with all the nodes on which the user has the right to view data. The whole history of the node and the underlying metering lines are shown after selecting a node. The node history consists of the name changes and the EAN number.

User Manual


The metering line history consists of the measured before status, operational status and the EAN number. The data is based on the old and the new codification which makes it possible to visualize information on line-level for every type of metering configuration (e.g. 2 meters in series in one metering line).

See chapter 7.

4.3.4 Further remarks about Metering and Topology

4.3.4.1 Aggregation of measurements

Since a Gas Exchange Location (GEL) consists of a set of nodes and a node consists of a set of metering lines, the measurements for a complete GEL should be aggregated. We advise to start the aggregation for a complete GEL from the set of nodes and not from the set of metering lines! A metering line can go ‘In Maintenance’ or the measurements can already be accounted in the measurements of another metering line, i.e. ‘Measured Before’. The measurements on the node level take these two parameters into account and can therefore readily be used for the aggregations. Example What is the total energy on gas exchange location A at gas day X, hour Y? The topology of gas exchange location A at gas day X and hour Y is: - Membership 1: Node n1, weight w1 = -1 - Membership 2: Node n2, weight w2 = -1 - Membership 3: Node n3, weight w3 = 1 The measurements of nodes n1, n2 and n3 at gas day X and hour Y are: - Node n1: e1 = 100 kWh - Node n2: e2 = 200 kWh - Node n3: e3 = 500 kWh Calculation Total energy (e) = e1 * w1 + e2 *w2 + e3*w3 = 100*-1 + 200*-1 + 500*1 = 200 kWh

4.3.5 Real Time Measurement on Interconnection Points

The Real-time Data screen offers an overview of the last available real-time metering data on GELs for which the current user has a valid real-time metering contract. The user can select to narrow

4.3.5.2 Requesting an update

The real-time data shown on the screen is not updated automatically after opening the screen. However, in the database the available data will be refreshed with the latest available data every six minutes. By clicking the Refresh button the user can ask for an update. If the available data has been updated, the most recent version of the metering data will be displayed. The application does not keep track of the real-time value history, so previously shown data is lost after updating the screen.

4.3.6 Wobbe Index

This report enables Grid Users to monitor the gas quality of the gas they import into the Belgian network. The gas quality of this imported gas should be in balance with the gas quality of the gas that is exported to the UK. Values for gashours larger than the current gashour are not available, meaning that future gashours and gasdays will be suppressed. The value for the Wobbe at a certain point and certain gashour can change over time. At anytime the best available value is published. All Wobbe values are defined on Interconnection Points with underlying nodes, except for 2 values on the H-zone and on the L-zone which are defined as the weighted average of the Wobbe values for all Interconnection Points of such Zones. Grid Users receive the Wobbe Index in a data format and also downloads are made available. The values contain 2 decimal digits.

4.4.3 Temperatures

Daily Equivalent Temperature Both forecasted and realized values are made available for system users to calculate their tolerances in the balancing system of Fluxys. The Daily Equivalent Temperature is the sum of 60% of the temperature of Day D, 30% of D-1 and 10% of D-2. The forecasted daily equivalent temperature is based on the latest available realized temperatures and the forecasted daily temperatures. Degree-day Temperature The Degree-day Temperature is a measurement reflecting the demand for energy needed to heat buildings. Degree-day Temperatures are defined relative to the base temperature of 16.5°C: the outside temperature above which a building needs no heating. If the average daily temperature is lower than the base temperature, the degree day temperature is the difference between both:

Example 1: average daily temperature = - 5°C Degree-day temperature = 21.5 Example 2: average daily temperature = 5°C Degree-day temperature = 11.5

If the average daily temperature is equal to or higher than the base temperature, the degree day temperature is zero:

Example 3: average daily temperature = 20°C Degree-day temperature = 0

FDET (°C) Forecasted Daily Equivalent Temperature

RDET (°C) Realized Daily Equivalent Temperature

4.8.4 Capacity calculation methodology

Fluxys updates annually its ten-year indicative investment program. These actualizations take into account the evolution of the needs for supply of natural gas, requests for new connections and the new needs of the grid users as a result of market consultations. In order to actualize the investment program, Fluxys performs simulations on the existing configuration of its grid, based on the data for the expected development as a result of the request for transmission capacity and the estimated evolution of capacities. Different scenarios are investigated taking into account different possible configuration of gas flow, peak consumption and the maximum grid imbalance. These grid simulations on a largely bi-directional and highly interconnected grid remain a continuous and complex exercise. Based on these transmission grid simulations, the firmness of the capacity of the grid users and end-users can be guaranteed.

5.3.2 Topology


5.3.2.1 Content

A Gas Exchange Location (GEL) consists of node memberships. A node can be a member of a GEL during a given time period. The membership has a weight with which the measurements of the respective node are aggregated in the result for the associated GEL. All this information can be found per GEL under the button GEL Topology (This option is accessible to limited users it depends of their contractual link with Fluxys - not applicable for Storage). Under the Node Topology button a drop-down box can be found with all the nodes on which the user has the right to view data. The whole history of the node is shown after selecting a node. The node history consists of the name changes and the EAN number. The metering line history consists of the measured before status, operational status and the EAN number.

5.3.2.2 Download

• XML


See chapter 7.



Since a Gas Exchange Location (GEL) consists of a set of nodes and a node consists of a set of metering lines, the measurements for a complete GEL should be aggregated. We advise to start the aggregation for a complete GEL from the set of nodes and not from the set of metering lines. A metering line can go ‘In Maintenance’ or the measurements can already be accounted in the measurements of another metering line, i.e. ‘Measured Before’. The measurements on the node level take these two parameters into account and can therefore readily be used for the aggregations.

User Manual


Example What is the total energy on gas exchange location A at gas day X, hour Y? The topology of gas exchange location A at gas day X and hour Y is: - Membership 1: Node n1, weight w1 = -1 - Membership 2: Node n2, weight w2 = -1 - Membership 3: Node n3, weight w3 = 1 The measurements of nodes n1, n2 and n3 at gas day X and hour Y are: - Node n1: e1 = 100 kWh - Node n2: e2 = 200 kWh - Node n3: e3 = 500 kWh Calculation Total energy (e) = e1 * w1 + e2 *w2 + e3*w3 = 100*-1 + 200*-1 + 500*1 = 200 kWh

6.5.2 Topology


6.5.2.1 Content

A Gas Exchange Location (GEL) consists of node memberships. A node can be a member of a GEL during a given time period. The membership has a weight with which the measurements of the respective node are aggregated in the result for the associated GEL. All this information can be found per GEL under the button GEL Topology. This option is accessible to limited users (It depends of their contractual link with Fluxys). Under the Node Topology button a drop-down box can be found with all the nodes on which the user has the right to view data. The whole history of the node and the underlying metering lines are shown after selecting a node. The node history consists of the name changes and the EAN number. The metering line history consists of the measured before status, operational status and the EAN number.

Since a Gas Exchange Location (GEL) consists of a set of nodes and a node consists of a set of metering lines, the measurements for a complete GEL should be aggregated. We advise to start the aggregation for a complete GEL from the set of nodes and not from the set of metering lines! A metering line can go ‘In Maintenance’ or the measurements can already be accounted in the measurements of another metering line, i.e. ‘Measured Before’. The measurements on the node level take these two parameters into account and can therefore readily be used for the aggregations. Example What is the total energy on gas exchange location A at gas day X, hour Y? The topology of gas exchange location A at gas day X and hour Y is: - Membership 1: Node n1, weight w1 = -1 - Membership 2: Node n2, weight w2 = -1 - Membership 3: Node n3, weight w3 = 1 The measurements of nodes n1, n2 and n3 at gas day X and hour Y are: - Node n1: e1 = 100 kWh - Node n2: e2 = 200 kWh - Node n3: e3 = 500 kWh Calculation Total energy (e) = e1 * w1 + e2 *w2 + e3*w3 = 100*-1 + 200*-1 + 500*1 = 200 kWh

Therefore, he will find a calendar menu item where he can select the appropriate day for which he wants to consult the GIS Report. So, by changing the date, the user can navigate through all his available Reported Daily Imbalance Reports. The title of each GIS Report consists of the gasday for which the report applies. The GIS data is delivered on a per hour basis. For every hour (expressed in local time) following elements are displayed:

• Begin and end time of the hour

• For each plant at which a grid user is active o Amount of gas in storage (kWh) o Total amount of gas in the tank (kWh) o Generation time of the GIS message

The report is built up as the gasday progresses with a new line being added every hour. These are provisional data.
